Exploring BeagleBone is a hands-on guide to producing gadgets, gizmos, and robots employing the popular BeagleBone embedded Linux platform. Comprehensive content and in-depth detail present more than just a BeagleBone instruction manual; you also learn the underlying engineering techniques allowing you to build your projects. 

The book opens with a foundational primer on necessary skills, and then progressively moves into communication, control, and advanced applications using C/C++, allowing you to learn at your own pace. Also, the book's companion website features instructional videos, source code, discussion forums, and more, ensuring you have everything you need.

The BeagleBone's small size, high performance, low cost, and advanced versatility have made it a favorite development platform, and the Linux software base provides advanced yet adaptable functionality. The BeagleBone supports applications in smart buildings, robot control, environmental sensing, to name a few; and, expansion boards and peripherals dramatically enhance the possibilities. Exploring BeagleBone provides a reader-friendly guide to the device, including a crash course in computer engineering.
